Germany is in lockdown and seeing no excess deaths (covid or otherwise). The whole of Italy is in lockdown, but areas badly affected by covid are seeing much more more unexplained excess death than other less affected areas.

It seems to me that lock-down is very unlikely to be the thing that is killing people.

Germans haven't been told repeatedly they have a patriotic duty to avoid hospitals to save their national treasure.

The British numbers are public and speak for themselves. ER attendance halved. Cardiac patients halved. People stopped going to hospitals when they needed to - luckily Germany avoided socialised healthcare and hospitals are just seen as normal companies.

As for Italy, there have been similar problems there with elderly homes in particular and hospitals struggling with staffing sure to lockdowns and isolation.

Ultimately this is the same virus everywhere. It doesn't look like it though. So differences in national performances are telling us a lot of important things about how governments have reacted.
